MINNEAPoLrs, Mimi, October. A.
The General Assembly, Knights o1
Labor, convened again at IL O'Clock
this morning. General Master Work.
man Powderly welcomed the dele.
gates in fine speech. General Sec.
retary Litchman said that he desired
to ask the convention for more time,
as it would take two or three hours to
get his papers in shape. An adjourn
ment was therefore taken until P. M.
CONCERNING THE ANARCHISTS.
1t is widely reported that the Gen
eral Assembly was likely to pass
a resolution protesting against the
death sentence being carried out on
the condemned Chicago Anarchists.
That such resolution will be intro
duced there is little doubt, but that ii
will be passed, is not certain in fact
it is much more likely to be tabled.
A canvass among the delegates shows
strong feeling prevailing that the
Knights should let the Anarchists
alone.
POwDERLY INTERVIEWED.
In an interview to-dayT. p. Powderly
said that there was a decrease in the
membership of the Knights of Labor
and that there were many branches to
the labor movement, but the members
understood each other better and that
the many diversified opinions showed
that the men were thinking. Time
will come when the several grand di-
visions of the labor movement will unite
in one grand reform organization and
a perfect fabric will be the result. The
great working mass of the people are
wrong on the question of politics. They
look too high and wish to reach the top
of the ladder at one bound when ex-
perience teaches that it is folly. This
is the most serious question with which
we have to deal. l advocate that it is
the small local officers that should
be looked after with eternal
vigilance. Let me elect assessors
and care not who elects the Presi-
dent. 1t is the principle which wish
to inculcate in the minds Of all work
ing men that they should attend to
their local politics and the affairs OF
the state will take care of themselves. "
AFTERNOON AssEMBLAGE.
At three o'clock the General Assem-
bly, was called to order. Some 185
delegates were favorably reported
while a few were without the endorse.
ment of the commission. The day
was consumed in consideration ol
the contested election cases. There
was a warm discussion which was
protracted till seven o'clock when the
convention adjourned until tomorrow
morning.

NEW York, October 4.-John ]
Blair, first President of the Sioux City
and Pacific Railway, was the only
witness before the Pacific Railway
Commission to-day. He said that
Oakes Ames subscribed for 1000 shares
in the Construction Company to build
the road and other friends subscribed
literally, but none of them paid up.
He said that at the time, being in need
of money he sold 48, 900 acres OF land
which had been granted to the North
ern Nebraska Air Line, the principal
buyers being the directors and stock
holders of the company. The gov
ernment bonds in possession OF the
company were divided among all of
them in 1871 according to the shares
each had subscribed. The govern
ment bonds were afterwards sold and
the amount realized paid into the
stock of the road. When the road
was transferred to the Northwestern
Railway Company in 1878, the road,
machinery and rolling stock was
worth about $500, 900 to the North

A SHOOTING sCRAPE.
Determined Contest Bet Wecn
Two OrcgOniaus.

A~O OHck OuhAuss
CORVALLIS, Ogn., October A
shooting affair occurred here to-day
between Gus Maddox and George
Bowerlin, wherein the former received
flesh wound in the right arm and
the latter wound in the head which
may prove fatal. The two men had
been having trouble for month and
Bowerlin had threaten to kill Maddox
on sight. The two men were evil
IDENTIFY prepared for each other, for
when they met this morning they fired
at each other at close range, each us
ing Smith & Wesson 38 caliber re-
volver. Maddox shot four and Bow
erlin five times. Maddox says he
fired with his pistol after he himself
had been shot twice and only fred as
last resort.
CLOSE CALL.
The ball which struck Bowerlin
broke the arch over his right eye and
entered to a depth of 2ls inches,
where itlodged. The attending sur
geon says that no attempt can be made
to extract the ball until reaction sets
in. The ball which wounded Maddox
entered the right arm above the elbow
and came out at the shoulder. His
coat was set on fire by the powder.
Bowerlin fell at the last shot and
Maddox walked away with one car
fridge in his pistol unexploded. The
cause OF the difficulty is not certainly
known and Maddox is reticent about
it. Bowerlein yesterday evening
bought pistol-holster, saying to the
storekeeper at the time that he in
tended to kill Maddox on sight. Both
are young men, Maddox having. a
family. Public opinion justifies
Maddox.

DOCTOR PARKER.
His EulOgy OH IBeecher at the
BROOKLYN Academy.

New YORK, October 4.-Rev. DR..
Parker, OF. London, delivered an eulogy
upon Henry Ward Beecher at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight
In the introduction, DR.. Parker
claimed, as an Englishman, an advan-
tage which no American could enjoy
that distance was essential to true
color, and the perspective got rid OF
detail, friction and tumult. Three
thousand miles away there was seen
only the outline of the noble figure,
the results were observed, not the pro-
cess. In a criticism, therefore. of a
man like Mr.. Beecher, whilst some
of the men in his own country are
unable to escape the limitations OF
locality and vision, we must
stand away from the mountain
if we would see its magnitude. After
some glowing tributes to America, it's
vitality, its freedom, etc., he said
I"You have no primogeniture and en-
tail, no House of Lords, no titular
aristocracy, yet yours are the vital
and noble conditions which made
Henry Ward Beecher possible.
Henry Ward Beecher never could
have been in Europe what he was In
America. You gave him scope, you
created opportunities for him, your
journals multiplied his influence, your
whole people applauded and consoli-
dated his independence. America
possesses the balance of nations by
showing that Cesarism is neither
necessary to greatness nor required
for caci1rifv ,,
